While the Weekender Bag and I are still maintaining our
separate lives, I
finally have a finished quilt top. After spending nearly three glorious days with my friends and my sewing machine, the Single Girl quilt top is completed. Do songs ever endlessly loop through your brain? The whole time I was sewing Single Girl, and including times during the night when I would wake up briefly, I could NOT get Beyonce's song, "All the Single Ladies," out of my head. Okay, Beyonce, I get it. The name of my quilt is "Put a Ring On It." I'm pretty happy with it. Um, both the name
and the quilt top.
This was the view from my ironing station.
After all the curved piecing that SGQA entailed, I was kind of on a roll, and moved on to my 3
x6 Sampler Quilt Mini Bee, the same block done in six different color schemes. Of course each block will be in the hands of a different person, but even with all the variations in colors, isn't the secondary circle design cool?
It's a little hard to see with the bottom right block because it's quite busy, going into a quilt for little boys, but I sure had a good time making this block
I'm planning on doing a Sherbet Pips quilt using this block. I got the block information from Mary at
Molly Flanders. It's called Flowering Snowball. Thanks, Mary!
By then it was late Saturday night and I was tired of curves. So I started working on Supernova. Yes, just a
bit behind on the schedule. I had changed my mind so many times on which fabric to use. Then I was staring at Lee's blog button, with all the hot hot hot colors against the cool grey.
I haven't sewn with batiks in ages. In fact, most of them have been given away. But for some reason, I had saved all the colors Lee used in the button.
So here is my first block. I
adore the block and can't stop staring at it. Worth the wait, I think!
Don't forget to see what
everyone else has been working on this week!
